“To the faithless question “Why should the Son of God have become flesh for the salvation of mankind and have sacrificed Himself?” we can answer that love always expresses itself in sacrifices. When I love someone, I give him gifts, thus sacrificing a part of my property; or provide him with some comfort, possibly denying myself, consequently sacrificing my own comfort; or help him in need or in sickness, consequently sacrifice my work or my leisure; or else I may defend him and save his life, incurring danger for myself, and perhaps even sacrifice my life. Sacrifice is always an expression of love.”
